We enjoyed an excellent stay at The Granary in advance of our wedding. The property was perfect for our needs and was a very useful base to help us prepare for the big day. The hosts in particular were very warm and welcoming, and were there for us should there have been the need for any additional help. We would definitely like to stay here again!

I loved the hotel and would definitely stay there again when visiting Colchester! Very good value for money. The room was huge, with a double bed and a sofa. The bathroom was nice as well, the shower room was huge and it had shampoo, shower gel and soap for the hands. The room was very clean and had a kettle and everything to have a tea in the room. The staff was very friendly! You can ask for a comb, toothbrush or shaving kit for free in the reception. I had dinner in the restaurant, tried different food and it was delicious and very tasty, also affordable.

We arrived quite late at 7:30pm. The staff member on reception was very friendly and accommodating and advised that we had been upgraded to the newly renovated rooms as they had availability. The rooms were exceptionally clean, comfortable and well provisioned. I have been lucky enough to stay in a couple of fancy hotels, including Hayman Island on the Great Barrier Reef, and the rooms we had at Marks Tey were on a par and better than those hotel rooms. Excellent value for money for our last-minute booking. Menu looked tasty and great value, but we had already eaten so didn't try the food on this occasion.
